To pool and interpret international monitoring data to facilitate better understanding of the contribution of indoor exposure to human body burdens

To co-ordinate international efforts to monitor accurately temporal trends in contamination of biota with organic FRs

To work collaboratively towards international complementarity in studies of the metabolism of brominated FRs

Each research objective will be delivered by means of a specific workpackage. Direction for the research conducted within INTERFLAME will be provided by means of 3 workshops involving principal investigators from all partners and held at project outset, its mid-term, and its conclusion. Planning, organisation and hosting of these workshop hubs will be delivered via workpackage 9, alongside workpackage 10 which will address management, communication and dissemination aspects of INTERFLAME.
